Seriously, a lot of casuals I know that play Halo don't even know who Master Chief is. He's not as big of a household name as you may think he is.

Only americans like american Sports that much. On a global scale its between Halo and Mario.

Halo isn't popular in Japan. How is that a global scale? Even the sales of Halo don't top other game franchises like GTA, Mario, Pokemon, GT, etc.

Don't be sorry I'm not actually bothered, but I've never known a Zelda game cause as much mainstream hype as Halo. Or any other game for that matter, ever.

Probably not the most popular game/franchise.

However, with only three games Halo has definitely been pushed into the collective cultural mind of many, many countries.

Is it due to Halo being a good game, though? Absolutely not. I guarantee that if you had the advertising budget that Microsoft sunk into Halo you could make a game about squirrels digging water wells into a cultural movement.

Not including Halo 3 (or maybe, depending on what the 15M sales figure quoted includes) Gran Turismo 3 alone almost matched it.

Nope. The Halo franchise is the 38th best selling console game franchise of all time, and Halo 2 is the 18th best selling console game of all time.

By the way, I think catch is the most popular game in the Universe.

Halo is WAYYYYY too overhyped. Games like MGS and Bioshock are much much better.

Nothing comes close to Halo

I think I can assume that your going to use your account for the sole purpose of being a fakeboy or account suicide.

U already reported right? How does feel being a snitch?

Snitching in the internet definitely ruins my social life right?
